Yes, I know. But my post wasn't.
a man that is 6feet8 with 19 inch arms has an arm length well over a foot longer than a man 5feet8.
Indeed. His bones are also bigger, and his muscles are far longer. That's a
plus for building actual size, but for
perceived size, it is a hindrance for the tall man.
I think you're confusing the two. An 18" arm will look crazy-huge on a guy that's 4'11", and less than crazy huge on a 5'11" guy, but it's much,
much easier for the 5'11" guy to build that measurement.
think about it it in total mass the tall mans arm is way bigger than a 19 inch arm of someone who is 5feet8. sorry short guy.
No. It's smaller because his bones have to be bigger. But even with similar bones, the mass of that measurement is the same, dude.
Again, you're confusing actual size with "perceived size."
and the judges would agree. priest has about the same arm size as a ronnie coleman or gunther. but look how much more massive they look than lee priest. and hell gunther is just 6feet3 this guy at the gym is 6 feet 8 and would tower over gunther
I hear you, but in fact Lee's arms are not anywhere near Ronnie's actual measurements. Charles Poliquin taped Lee at about 20.5". Ronnie is close to 22".
And remember, an arm measurement is simply a measurement of diameter. An arm is like a cylinder. You can plug in the dimensions and come up with an actual volume. If both arms are 19", the volume is the same. So if both are muscular arms, the mass (weight) is the same, too.
But yes, I am short

LOL. Don't remind me, tall guy!
